The Legend of Zelda live-action film announces cast for Link and Zelda
Nintendo has announced the first cast for their The Legend of Zelda live-action film, confirming roles for none other than Link and Zelda. While Benjamin Evan Ainsworth has been cast as Link…
Isn't Link supposed to be blond?
In the artwork around the NES games he had brown hair, I don’t think he became blonde until OOT.
His hair was blond, or at least dirty blond, since at least LttP. Also, both he and Zelda have very vibrant blue eyes.
I'm also curious if they'll make Link a lefty again or stick with the new right-handedness.
Wigs exist, and male hair typically darkens with age due to testosterone increases.
Ocarina of Time I think was the first game he was blonde in, and it becoming so massive made every Link after him also do so.
Even in the games where his hair was pink the directors confirmed it was actually brown and just done for visual clarity.
